Not bad. I have a couple of alternates that could go with that shot, or this one from 'Brushfire'... "Space. The final frontier. "These are the voyages of the starship Zatmeniye. "The continuing mission: to prowl the darkness between stars; to hold at bay the hundred threats knowledge of which would freeze the blood of the…

Not a bad choice. The Solonae Dyson Sphere is another... that place is huge. For an idea, let's just say that the interior radius is 1AU (the average distance between the centers of Sol and Earth - 149.6 million km). Feeding that into the surface area formula (4*pi*radius) and you get an incredible 2.81*10^17 sq. km... and…

Yes please. Among the things I'd like to see in this vein would be neck gaiters (the Iccobar ambassador in 'Midnight' has one) and more color variants for the MACO battledress (why shouldn't players be able to replicate the 'Mantel'/Facility 4028 color scheme?). It will indeed be interesting to see how the new TFO works…

This is extremely bad form on general principles; never mind that whoever made that call would likely complain quite loudly were the proverbial shoe on the other foot. See also, foxman00's concerns above regarding the apparent lack of proofreading - like failure to communicate, such carelessness is hardly good for one's…

This is troubling. I will reiterate an opinion I'd posted elsewhere...
-
And the historical insight is appreciated; thank you. Returning to the intention of this thread: Aigaion would be a completely understandable name for one of the Vanguard carriers. Note that the original was nicknamed 'Great Shadow'... which could fit here if you apply, say, the Section 31 vanity shield.
-
And it'd be easy to justify in-universe as the KDF, RRN, and Starfleet having evaluated the Vanguard Wing doctrine and deciding to test it on some new platforms...
-
One possibility would be a built-in passive that's a version of the repair nanites that are the full-set bonus from Desperate Defenses, or the field from the Protomatter Field Projector... I imagine applying one of the New Romulus shields (or the one from 'Coliseum') to the vanity slot would help greatly there. Shame there…
-
I take it you mean that the new squadron pets should be usable on any ship with a hangar bay (faction permitting). This is something I see and raise adding squadron versions of all other fighter bays (i.e. Peregrines, Widows, Bleth Choas, Obelisk swarmers)... and reminds me of this interesting tidbit: the new Caitian…

As for the eye accessory (and hairstyles)... I hope they didn't get lazy and render the heads as unique one-piece models...
-
Which brings us to an odd omission: why on Terra isn't Dom-polaron the default type Dominion operators have access to at ship gear stores?
-
That's it exactly. How sad, then, that more work wasn't put in on this simple front. Why isn't there a basic ball cap with color and logo options (the latter can draw from the various rep tracks, faction/service logos, and even certain accolades)? Extra credit if the cap can be worn backwards or have the sun protector oft…

As noted above, works quite well in concert with gravity wells. Note, however, that it only works with mines you deploy directly... no 'making it rain' with the quantities Echentises deposit, unfortunately. With four per Ryn'kodan, a full team can get rather ridiculous numbers going (twenty frigates in most TFOs, and…
-
Mostly, I understand, because Sisko is a big fan. That does not, however, mean that STO shouldn't branch out. For example, into football (the variety much of the world refers to as 'the beautiful game'; I'm sure the art team could have a field day coming up with the uniform patterns and color schemes. Yes, this would…
-
The apparent lack of proofreading is just bad form - not only is it sloppy on general principles, but can give people cause to wonder what else is being skimped on. Aside from the console ability (which is in some ways similar to the Cheirax') it would be interesting if multiple Ba'ul ships passively buff one another in a…

New and revamped Klingon content is welcome on general principles. That said, I hope they devs aren't pressured to push it out the door without proper testing. I'm sure folks will be posting it here, as well as Reddit and other places, but will suggest on the next Ten-Forward that the relevant blog post be updated with…
-
This is a good idea, and actually synergizes well with some tailor options. Quite aside from this (and the idea of selectable transporter FX - for example, owning any Hur'q ship makes their 'globe' transporter FX available as an option), there's no reason the notional KDF 'combadges' should not be wrist devices of some…
-
I would add to talgeeze's sentiment that this is an opportunity to release concept badges for the KDF and RRN that didn't make it into service. Also surprised that Zef's outfit isn't an unlock (they did have to do much of the modeling for it to make the statue). With respect to the event itself: while it makes sense that…
-
Which I do not propose as a solution (the theoretical T6 Kar'Fi would still be a KDF-specific ship) - for a fourth Fek'Ihri ship there are, aside from an all-new design, the Fer'Jai and K'Norr to consider. Besides, it can be argued that the closest analogue to the Kar'Fi available to Starfleet operators would be the…
-
Aside from making the suit from the 20th-centrury formalwear package gender-agnostic, I would also hope that they give the top the no-jacket options (shirt only; shirt & vest). Further, the longcoat (as shown off by President Lincoln in 'Measure of Morality' should be added as well. Speaking of which episode, there is…
-
I suspect this ship won't be the only spawn of the new joint design program. For example, we could see an escort which blends Federation and Romulan design philosophies (sort of related: the Surhuelh-class does incorporate some Federation - Vulcan, specifically - design elements).
-
Quoted for truth. There is little reason for the status quo (it can be argued that JHV characters should have Dominion-polaron as their default weapon type, but that's probably a conversation for elsewhen). Yes, you can add the missing types to the missions' reward pool, but I would also add an associated R&D manual. Using…
-
All of these changes appear interesting (and make me wonder if they're also going to be updating the various Borg models in the process); hopefully the devs have realized that timegates are one of those 'extra hoops' players despise and will keep that in mind for future content and revision of previous events (consider for…
-
I'd honestly forgotten about that one; it could well be a unique vessel (much like the Annorax-class' canonical appearance).
-
In-universe, it would make sense for TFO's rep-store weapons to be kinetic as opposed to DEWs with a special proc, but that's probably best debated in depth elsewhere. This is an opportunity to fix the issues with certain variants of MACO/KHG regalia not being earnable at all - there's really little excuse not to address…
-
One of the nicer QoL features is the ability to control at a basic level WinAmp or iTunes from inside the game (which mutes the game music while either is playing). Since this particular update, just opening the internal music player with WinAmp as your 'background music player' drops the framerate into single digits, as…
-
I would put forward that yes, you can have both. Folks want the weapons, but not necessarily the ship? They'd still be able to trawl the Exchange or roll the proverbial dice, like they do now. The ships themselves would have extra value from following the Andorian-escort precedent. Whether lockboxes should exist at all is…
-
Delivered. And has jacketless as well as the shown open- and closed-top variations if the relevant folks are sensible. Not just cool, but logically consistent. In fact, an argument can be made for the tailor needing an extensive consistency pass to address issues of this sort.
-
This is, in my opinion, a mistaken decision. Far more sensible would be to apply the precedent set by the Andorian escorts to all ships with special-flavor base weapons, as elaborated here.
-
If I recall correctly, this question was addressed in last week's Ten-Forward. Specifically, this addition to the TFO menu is an alternative to, instead of a replacement for, flying out there yourself... and indeed, systems with patrols would be marked on the maps. And in general you often want to be cruising through…
